1 Preparing for Setup
Before installing the MP Drivers in your computer, make sure of the following.
z If the installation and adjustment of the machine have not been finished, refer to your setup sheet
to set up the machine properly.
z Turn off the firewall function temporarily or change its setting. If you disable the firewall function,
disconnect your network from the Internet.
For information on the firewall function of your security software, refer to its instruction manual or
contact its manufacturer.
z Make sure that the configuration of computers, hubs, and other network devices is complete, and
computers can connect to the network.
The configuration and the type of the device vary depending on your network environment. For
details, refer to your device’s instruction manual or contact its manufacturer.
Important
After setup is complete, turn back on the firewall function you disabled for setup.
If you connect to a network that is not protected with security measures, there is a risk of disclosing
data such as your personal information to a third party.
Important
A hub and LAN cable are required to connect this machine to a wired LAN. These must be
purchased separately.
